Update. Because it was "not sign for as damaged" they are saying I need to raise a dispute with PP to recover costs, which is strange. They are also asking for the IMEI, so they don't seem to have the power to block it without my help.

All this seem stupidly amateurish on their behalf using rm48 and not taking note of the IMEI.

Think I'll try my luck with PP and not give them the IMEI.

I suspect, the couriers have improved their tracking ability of weight on final delivery location. Im assuming its a retailer with majority electronic equipment/smartphones sold?

Do not give them the imei, and yes try to CB them on PayPal, and wait for the insurance to fix them.
If they do ask, here is an imei generator.

Firstly, not everyone Is aware that the option to raise a damage report on receipt Is available.

Lastly, who checks "every" part of the package prior to signing? I'd be hitting them with this, before contacting PP. You have nothing to lose and should It succeed, everything to gain.

Very strange that they would tell you to raise a dispute with PP.

But I'd go with Mothered before contacting PayPal.

Say you were excited to get it so you didn't really care about the package, you just wanted to open the phone asap. You figured the box may have been damaged on the outside but the phone would have been fine so had no reason to question it. I've personally taken damaged boxes before and didn't know you could sign for them as damaged.

Tell them that you'd rather sort this out with them amicably before disputing the transaction with PP. Mention that you're trying to show respect and be as friendly as possible, despite being annoyed about this massive inconvenience.

Update, I had to go through PP and it's police report time. Kinda bricking it now, think I'm too deep into it to call it a prank and cut my losses. I was stupid enough to use it with my sim for a day, should that be any cause for concern?

Did you followed Mothered advice and tell them you didn't know about the damage etc. before contacting PP?

Please stop these shitposts

If I was a moderator, I would have forgiven you, but take action the very next time you do the same.
Jail time etc. Should not be joked about.

However, I am nowhere near a moderator(the opposite of one if anything)
